Disregard waitlist. Has anyone in hep-ex heard gotten a decision from Harvard?

Direct from undergrad, no publications. Third-generation legacy admit lol

Ignore status. Does anyone know if HBS has done all interviews and admitted this year's cohort? Or are they still conducting interviews?

Informal acceptance from POI with official notification to come in the next week. Attended interview days in early February (2/1-2/3). So so excited!!

Is there anyone with an offer for the Ed PhD at Harvard who is somewhat likely to turn it down? Every other program I applied to rejected me so I'm depending on this waitlist to move - please please please give me hope that my dream doesn't have to die, because this is my last shot at ever doing a PhD in this field that I have so much love and devotion to. I'm too old to lose more time in my life to putting off a PhD for yet another year, and won't be able to reapply next year. I'm sorry to literally beg through this forum but the grief of all of these lost chances from the other programs is tearing me apart.

No publications, just one preprint out. A little surprised to have gotten in

Has anybody heard back after the interviews?

Did my BA in the UK. MA GPA is a 3.9.
